The Impact of...Orange!

When October rolls around it seems that everything we see is orange...mostly related to Halloween I believe.  But, have you ever thought about using this bright and vibrant color in your interiors or is it way too intimidating?

Here is a lovely display of orange in a room.  It is blended with a soft  blue which helps tone it down a bit.  I love the added "oomph" of this room with the zebra stripe on the ottoman too.  Orange and black doesn't have to be just about Halloween!

Orange is also a very nice "pop" with neutrals, along with a few other high impact colors.  This look is not over-powering at all.

Here it is used in one of my favorite rooms...just a punch of orange added in the pillows, lamps and ottoman...for a great look with the green and black! 

This one is a little more daring, but again is absolutely gorgeous...if orange is your color that is.  The punch of orange in this rug and on the drapery panels just "makes" this room.  Can YOU be this daring with orange?

Another room with just a few "pops" of this lovely color...which can be used in any style room.

How about a BLACK powder room with pops of orange in the towels?  Could YOU go for that?  It's a really great look!

Another "over the top" design plan using orange...even on the furniture pieces...simple, yet stunning!

Bright and fun here!

DIY paper bookcovers are even made here to pop that extra bit of orange on these shelves...how clever is that?  

As you can see...orange is NOT a color to be afraid of...or to relate just to Fall or Halloween.  It is a beautiful, vibrant color that can transform any room by using as much or as little of it as you want.  It works with several colors such as green, blue, neutral, black.  Do YOU have orange in YOUR home?  If so, please share how you used it.  We'd love to know!

Thanks for stopping by...

and

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

"A" is for Art

Did you know that another simple way to change up your room is to change, or add...ARTWORK.  It can be fun to do as well. Leaving the main walls or focal point of a room "undressed" just won't do.  What sort of "scene" is pleasing to you...

Florals

  

I think these might just be a "must have" for me!!!  I like...ALOT!

I want to do a room in these...NOW!  "Simply Irresistible"!

Shells

As I said..."A" is for Art and this is just a small sampling of the new introductions in one of our artwork lines we carry.  There are many options for placing artwork...side by side, one above the other, single picture (large enough for the wall space), or even a grouping. 


Which one would YOU select for your rooms?  Which type and colors do YOU prefer?  If you are unsure, keep in mind that our design team can create your very own design plan for you...including the artwork. So...take the guess work out of it!  For more information abut this service just leave us a comment and we will get back with you.

Ta-Ta!...

Have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

"Simply Irresistible" Kitchen and Bath Renovation

Are you perhaps in need of a kitchen and/or bathroom renovation?  Well, take a look at what one talented interior designer from Arkansas created..."Simply Irresistible" in every way!

How about a light and airy new look like this one?  Clean crisp neutrals can create a space similar to this...with a few pops of color throughout...like that color on the hem of this roman shade.

Another pop of this lovely blue in the island and these lovely pendant lights...ah, it breathes the freshness of the sea. Oh, and I love these baskets in the end of the island.

It wouldn't be complete without state-of-the-art appliances like this double oven and warming drawer by KitchenAid.

Do you prefer cabinetry panels over the refrigerator doors...like shown here over this Sub-Zero refrigerator? How nice the extra prep sink is too...that always comes in handy!

Believe it or not this area use to be a side porch, but it has now been incorporated into this lovely kitchen design.  This built-in banquette is absolutely stunning, especially with this awesome Schumacher fabric...and look at the fabrics in these drapery panels.  There are three separate colors of linen used in them...again, stunning! A great lantern was used for lighting over the table to just set the tone here...don't you think?



And to further carry this sea-inspired color palette into the master bath...take a look at this!  A hint of blue-green is used in the tile border and roman shade...again..."Simply Irresistible"!



The aqua seaglass in the shower along with this rainfall showerhead make this a "step into luxury" feature.



I love this dark cabinetry worked into this airy space, along with these Pottery Barn mirrors and Stonegate scones.  Isn't it lovely?



Center stage in this room is the luxurious Kohler free standing tub...just under these beautiful roman shades on the windows and the hanging light fixture to match the sconces.



You know me and custom window treatments...!!!  Take a closer look also at this most unusual fabric which is paired with this stunning light fixture.  I simply can't get enough of it!

So there, you have it...a lovely kitchen and master bathroom renovation.  It makes you WANT to redo these rooms...even if you don't really need too...doesn't it?  These tranquil sea-inspired rooms bring a welcome cozy feel to each of these areas, that's for sure.  Mission accomplished for this homeowner!!!

Now, have a "Simply Irresistible" Day!
